The AMS 400.52, 2 3/4" Planer Auger is a comprehensive sampling kit that includes everything you need to take accurate interval specific core samples to a depth of 3 feet. This kit is ideal for sampling the soil surface, in auger holes, or in profile pits.
One of the standout features of this kit is the Soil Sample Rings, which are made from .062w SST tubing. These SST sample rings are perfect for laboratory studies and obtaining undisturbed core samples. Each 2" x 2" SST ring has a volume of 90.59 cubic centimeters, allowing for precise calculations of bulk density. It's important to note that accurate determination of bulk density starts with proper sampling technique to ensure the collected sample represents the natural condition of the soil.
The AMS 400.52 also includes a Core Sampler with exclusive features. Most standard core samplers have a 1"+ gap between the tip and the sample liner's internal shelf, but the included sampler in this kit has a shorter 5/16" gap. This shorter gap provides a more representative core and reduces soil compaction as it enters the sampler. The liners and core sampler are held to extremely tight tolerances for reliable and accurate sampling. The Core Sampler Cap has a built-in waste barrel, offering 2" of relief. This helps eliminate compaction from overdriving the sampler and eliminates the need to load multiple rings inside, which can cause sample blow by and skew calculations.
This comprehensive kit includes essential tools such as a core sampler cup and cap, a hammer head cross handle or compact slide hammer attachment, a 2-1/2" open face auger, a 2-3/4" regular soil bucket auger, a 2-3/4" planer auger, a 2ft. extension rod, an 18" rubber-coated cross handle, 25 stainless steel rings (2" x 2") with their own aluminum carrying case with foam inserts, 50 plastic end caps (2"), adjustable wrenches (2), an auger cleanout tool, a nylon cleaning brush, an impact-absorbing hammer, and an AMS deluxe carrying case with handles and wheels for easy portability.
With the AMS 400.52, 2 3/4" Planer Auger, you can confidently take accurate and representative core samples for laboratory studies, research, or any application where precise soil analysis is required.
